Semiconductor yield analysis and prediction using a stochastic layout sensitivity model
… for enhancement of semiconductor manufacturing yield. As a result, the yield of modern integrated circuits is associated with the layout sensitivity to defects. The term layout sensitivity' is defined as the ratio of 'critical area', i.e. part of the layout in which a defect must be placed to …

Using economic factors in managing Appalachian hardwoods for high quality
… microcomputer program with growth projection, YIELD-MS (Hepp, 1986), to find an economically favorable regime for a particular hardwood stand. The simulation approach presented allows for economic and silvicultural comparisons of many alternative treatments that need to be considered each time …

Testing methods for calibrating Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) diameter growth predictions
… Vegetation Simulator (FVS) is a growth and yield modeling system widely-used for predicting stand and tree-level attributes for management and planning applications in North American forests. The accuracy of FVS predictions for a range of tree and stand level attributes depends a great deal …

Generalizing yield prediction approaches and evaluating the common factors influencing the models
Accurate crop yield prediction is one of the key areas in precision agriculture and it has been explored since the 1970s. This study integrates insights from three chapters, including a literature review and two experimental studies. These are used to evaluate how spatial resolution, the proximity …

Evaluating the Value of Information Concerning Different Methods of Forest Sampling
Forest inventory is essential for estimating stand value and assists with making informed management decisions. However, the compromise made between the cost of sampling methods during inventory, and the accuracy of the information gathered has not been fully recognized. This study evaluates the …

THE INFLUENCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES ON THE HEIGHT GROWTH OF LOBLOLLY PINE (Pinus taeda) IN THE WESTERN GULF
<p>Understanding the effects of environmental factors on stand growth is important in optimizing forest management plans. This study investigated the effects of soil and climate factors on the height growth (site index) of loblolly pine (<em>Pinus Taeda L.</em>) using data collected from permanent …

Learning-based crop management optimization using multi-stream convolutional neural networks
… as in a regression problem to better predict yield. The predictive model is then used as the base of a gradient-ascent algorithm to maximize a custom objective function. To leverage the applicability of this algorithm, a risk-aware version of this method is also proposed. The predictive …

Population Dynamics and Management of Yellow Perch Populations in South Dakota Glacial Lakes
… perch in this lake. Beverton-Holt equilibrium yield modeling indicated that 229- and 254-mm length limits would reduce yield and harvest of yellow perch in Waubay Lake while increasing the number of perch reaching 254 mm in the population. Despite increases in the number of yellow perch …
